Excellent costume on eBay – The costume includes the Mask, the suit, and gloves. The mask is made of high quality professional mask latex (the kind they use in big budget horror films) and it comes straight from an original mold that I created. What that means is you will not find this particular mask anywhere else but here. The gloves and suit are made of alpine fleece and faux fur.

Raphael writes “I wanted to be able to control my music player, xmms, using a laser pointer and a wall. I drew the symbols for rewind, stop, play, forward on paper sheets using fluorescent ink so it looks cool with a blacklight and sticked them on the wall. I coded a simple tool that monitors the wall for the presence of a small spot using a webcam. When the spot appears somewhere, if it is inside a defined hotspot, the appropriate command is executed”. 
Brian sent this along, 5lbs, wow! Silly Putty has been around for 50 years, and in that time it’s become an international toy classic. Now you can purchase a 5-lb. block of original Silly Putty. The block comes in a box. No plastic eggs are included. Share pieces of this 5-lb. blob with classmates, co-workers, family and friends. 
Outstanding HOW TO on G4 based on our favorite hackable camera – Making 3D movies shouldn’t cost you 3G’s, so I wanted to write up an article so that you can do it on the cheap. How cheap? Less than $75.00 is a good place to start considering that a normal video camera is going to start around $300.00.
